Episode 82-Conservation Series: Indigenous Models of Conservation with Jeffrey Fabian

The rights of indigenous harvesters can be a flashpoint for many conversations across Canada, often loaded with assumptions and a long history of identity politics.  We undertake a less explored conversation of what happens when First Nations reclaim stewardship and responsibility of their historical lands through an international concept known as Indigenous Guardians Programs. 

 

Jeffrey Fabian (Eyes Unclouded) was the coordinator for the Indigenous Guardians Program out of Hay River, NWT (Katl'odeeche First Nation)  Jeff was instrumental in the program from top to bottom for years, including inception and design, all the way to uniform selection.  Chase and Tristan get the opportunity to explore First Nation approaches to conservation and what it means to take a truly holistic approach to ecosystem/human relationships.  Jeff also relays how each program is unique and chats about the future of these programs in Canada.  We close on a story about being "lost" on Great Slave Lake.
